Posted on July 31, 2011 by Mara Strom

The Chicago coupon class is nearly at its capacity, so if you haven’t signed up yet, now is the time!

Hosted by the ARK, the classes will be held on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 and Thursday, August 4, 2011 from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. Attend one or both of the classes, whatever fits your schedule and interests.

August 2: Saving Fundamentals

Do you want to save 25-30% at the grocery store without ever clipping a coupon? I’ll teach you how to fill your fridge & pantry while sticking to a smaller budget. Strategies will include price books, sale cycles, and menu plans.

August 4: Strategic Couponing

Ready to kick your grocery savings into high gear? Learn how to fill your cart for FREE or pennies on the dollar. I will teach you how to save 50% or more on your grocery and household budget through strategic couponing. Plus, learn the secrets of shopping for free at CVS and Walgreens.

The ARK will be charging a nominal fee of $8 per class, or $15 for both classes.

Bring non-perishable food items to donate to the ARK’s food pantry and get a raffle ticket for each item. Fun prizes, including

  • ARK gift pack
  • FREE product coupons
  • One month’s worth of Chicago Tribune coupon inserts, courtesy of my awesome reader, Becky

    I just signed up for both and I’m excited to meet you and learn from you. When I just started couponing, I got overwhelmed in coupons and printed all of them, even for things I’d never buy, because it could be a moneymaker. I don’t do that as much now, but I definitely could benefit from strategies. I end up throwing away lots of expired coupons.
